I think they are 52mm. The Spa gauge like Peter bought fits, but the holes have to be dremmelled out slightly

The smaller ally bezel gauges are nominally 52mm.... good luck to anyone who intends to fill their spaces with SPA replacements however, especially if armed with a dremel laugh

I have four SPA gauges installed now and no two were the same dia, nor were any 52mm (the cases are spun by hand apparently and they are supposed to be mounted in foam to be fair)

Yes, the dash is hard steel and difficult to grind out. Mat Smith, who fitted it with Peter, used some sort of small grinder. I will check what.

Point well made re Spa gauges however - his was slightly too large for the TVR dash.
